humane legislation

The U.S. Senate unanimously passed the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act (PACT). Action is needed in the U.S. House to crack down on animal cruelty crimes.

We ask during this holiday season that your extend your giving to the animal community by calling your U.S. Representative TODAY to ask them to co-sponsor and do all they can to push for the passage of this crucial bill!

The proposed federal PAWS Act recognizes that domestic violence impacts all members of the family—including the four-legged

Goal:25,000•Progress:14,391

Sponsored by: Humane Society of the United States

No one should have to choose between leaving an abuser and protecting a beloved pet, yet far too many women are forced to make this very choice.

The solution is the Pet and Women Safety Act (PAWS) Act. This legislation would help protect women and their pets in two ways: by setting a national policy that includes protections for pets of domestic violence victims and by establishing a federal grant program to assist in acquiring a safe shelter for pets.

The PAWS Act recognizes that domestic violence impacts all members of the family — including the four-legged.

Tell Congress you want pets to be protected under the Pets and Women Safety Act! US readerslease consider signing this petition. Thank you!
